Berechtigungen: S. 139, Z. 19-20: statt "von dem Konsul 28 n.Chr., Q. Iunius Blaesus" ist "von dem Suffekt-Konsul 26 n.Chr., Q. Iunius Blaesus" zu lesen. S. 140 Anm. 18, Z. 2: statt "L.

The author examines the aims and methods of the commentary on Cicero’s speeches written by the Roman scholar Q. Asconius Pedianus in the mid-first century AD. In the first part of the article a brief sketch of Asconius’ life is given, as far as it can be reconstructed from the vailable evidence. In the second part the author reviews the current discussion on the problem of Asconius’ aims and criticizes the hypothesis posed recently by C. Bishop who assumes that one of the principal intentions of Asconius’ commentary was to defend Cicero’s reputation from attacks of his detractors. The additional arguments are provided to reinforce the alternative view that Asconius wrote his work as a schoolbook for rhetorical schools. In the final part of the article the author discusses the question of Asconius’ attitude towards Cicero and comes to conclusion that his appraisal of Cicero’s qualities as orator and statesman is favourable and reverent.
Ciceros Beitrag zur politischen Debatte über ager Campanus
Kultúrne dejiny/Cultural history, 2020
The author of the study notes the importance of ager Campanus in political life at the end of the Roman Republic and reconsiders Cicero’s importance in the discussion around it. At the end of the year 64 BC tribune Publius Servius Rullus presented a substantial agrarian proposal, and Cicero successfully responded to it, as the proposal was rejected due to his rhetoric and political influence. Cicero insisted that it was not usual to successfully oppose an agrarian proposal directly in front of the people, and the less so in the case of ager Campanus, because it had not been officially touched by any political group in Roman politics for a long time. Cicero thus formed a new discussion and determined its key points, but it was not entirely ex nihilo creation, because the discussion about land reforms had been going on for decades and had a rich tradition. The study notes, therefore, that Cicero followed up on the usual arguments in the political debate on agrarian reforms and analyzes how he changed them, applied them and brought them into the Campanian discussion. Cicero’s contribution to this discussion is all the more significant, because his arguments were followed in the later period. It was probably due to the success of his rhetoric that the proposal to divide the ager Campanus did not appear in the next two agrarian proposals and was approved only by Caesar second agrarian law. However, Caesar had to deal with the arguments that Cicero introduced into the discussion as well. Therefore, Cicero’s contribution to the topic cannot be overestimated.
Andreas Schwab. Ciceros Proömien als Beginn der Philosophiegeschichtsschreibung in Rom? Beobachtungen zu den Vorreden der ,Gespräche in Tusculum‘. Philologia Classica 2018, 13(1), 69–81, 2018
This paper focuses on Cicero’s prefaces to his philosophical Tusculan disputations and in particular on their function. I will argue that in these paratexts, Cicero not only comes to grips with the concept and value of philosophy, but also inaugurates the genre of the history of philosophy in Rome. To support this thesis, I will illuminate at first the four aspects and concepts of ‘philosophy’ which Cicero develops: (2.1) philosophy as studium sapientiae, (2.2) philosophy in the Latin language, (2.3) ‘perfect philosophy’: the method and models of Cicero, and (2.4) philosophy as ‘medicine for the soul’. In a second step, two narratives that Cicero provides will illustrate (3) the scope of philosophy and its history in the prefaces. Both narratives also present intercultural encounters: the first (3.1) between the early Greek philosopher Pythagoras and the Etruscan king Numa, the second (3.2) between the so-called ‘Athenian legation’ and the senate in Rome. Against this background, I will finally focus on the climax of Cicero’s fifth preface, in which he outlines, in a spectacular overview, a history of philosophy. This sketched history of philosophy covers (4.1) an early time of wisdom and some even earlier representatives from a mythical time, (4.2) then the ‘old philosophy’ opening up with Pythagoras, and finally (4.3) the ‘Socratic’ philosophy. Cicero’s own dialogues belong to the latter category, being its consummate realisation. Through his own Latin endeavour to write a history of philosophy in Rome, Cicero in fact works out his own biased history of philosophy, which finds its fulfilment in Cicero himself.

Die Person des Athanasius möge hinreichender Grund sein, die folgenden Beobachtungen mit dem Thema der Eingriffe des Staates in die Belange der Kirchen zu verknüpfen. In der Zeit, in den beginnenden 40er Jahren des 4. Jahrhundert, als Athanasius und Markell in den Dokumenten in einem Atemzug genannt wurden¹ und beide in Rom von Bischof Julius aufgenommen und auf einer Synode rehabilitiert wurden,² erscheint Markell von Anfang an als Bischof,³ der als Theologe
